Parents, Teens and Culture

David Eaton, cofounder of Axis—a non-profit ministry that seeks to help the next generation have lifelong faith by resourcing parents and faith leaders—and Melanie Mudge, director of content and certification at Axis, tell listeners why Christian kids are leaving the faith. They tell listeners how, in an information-saturated society, our teens need to look to God’s Word, as well as their parents, for answers. Eaton and Mudge also coach parents on how to talk to their kids about true freedom and explain why living without boundaries isn’t freedom at all.
